Al-Hilal Offers €300M for Rodrygo to Replace Neymar
In a bold move to fill the void left by Neymar Jr., Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal has reportedly offered Real Madrid a staggering €300 million for Brazilian forward Rodrygo.
The 22-year-old, who has been instrumental in Real Madrid’s recent successes, including their 2022 and 2024 La Liga–Champions League doubles, is seen as a prime candidate to rejuvenate Al-Hilal’s attacking prowess.
Neymar’s tenure with Al-Hilal was marred by injuries, limiting him to just seven appearances, during which he contributed one goal and three assists.
Following a severe cruciate ligament tear that sidelined him for the entire 2023-24 season, the club and Neymar mutually agreed to terminate his contract. The Brazilian star has since returned to his former club, Santos, on a six-month deal.
Al-Hilal is reportedly prepared to offer Rodrygo a lucrative salary to entice him to the Saudi Pro League. However, Rodrygo, who recently extended his contract with Real Madrid until 2028, has expressed his desire to remain with the Spanish giants and continue his development in European football.

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
